ChatGPT can code pretty well but not without some help. After 100+ interactions here is the first ever static site generator coded entirely by ChatGPT. There is a NodeJS and even a…

These figures are certainly bogus. Fabricated by green crusaders that know nothing. Energy footprint is a fabrication.

I understand your point but I can't see a decade old laptop to be the right tool for the job unless you really don't use photos, videos, imag editing of any sort (adobe suite), off…

Sure, if it meets their needs all is fine. But why limit knowledge but what you need/ed a decade ago when there is so much more in the new processors, software etc.? to save money?…

Thanks for the hint. I am aware of this afecionados community. More power to them but none of this will make your old Mac grow an M1 processor. My previous laptoop was an Macbook p…

going strong? you don't have security updates since..a decade. The browsers (I have such a machine too, for museum purposes and occasional fun) won't load most of the sites and wil…

You can do plenty of useful things without a computer too :-) but that is beside the point. For business use you do need a browser. Fast, with security updates etc. For some people…

sure and no way to look at your photos in icloud, connect to music or interact with apple tv (or develop or test any app). But sure, you don't need icloud if you got your photos on…

the key is "with linux". Try developing iOS apps or do anything within the apple ecosystem (e.g. check your photos?). Not viable for 99.9% of mac users.

Thanks for sharing. I feel that this is the point of the article too "if you don't need a high end machine...." but if you do you can't really afford to change your laptop after 10…

I understand. Just talking about weight a Macbook 16" is 2 Kg. So it would be much lighter, more integrated then carrying around all these pieces. If you go in a business trip you …

I don't think cow anology is very appropriate. Technology is moving fast (well not as fast nowadays but still pretty fast) and if you don't update your tools your work will be as o…

well said! I read it but the "only using webrowser as light as possible and notepad for text, thats it" gives it away. I am just surprised how many experienced coders don't realise…

I don't want to sound dimissive but if you code anything more than 90's stuff an 11 years old desktop won't cut it. Especially if you have an apple computer. Such a model is not ju…

I can't really make up if this is a joke or not. Assuming it isn't, seriously ? If someone needs a laptop the pre-requisite is to be portable. This solution is not a laptop replace…

seriously he did tell you to read the original post and just a couple of click laters you can find out the OP is a professor not a student..

Hello from Switzerland :) We are not in the EU not just "technically" but as a fact. None of these agreement covers the exchange of private emails or metadata with the EU.

No offence but as an "expert" there is no excuse to run a webpage/blog etc. with no https. With Vercel, Netlify and many others offering free stating hosting and let's encrypt http…

you are welcome! enabling SSL should just be a click on github and is very convenient. I appreciate that your site is different and not like everything out there. Probably just adj…

interesting article! some feedback: it looks like you host your blog on github pages .Please add an SSL certificate, it is free and would eliminated the annoying browser warning. L…

what do you mean ? the browser button? I can't replicate the issue. Thanks for providing more information!
